JERUSALEM, April 1—
Natan Sharansky said today that the West should refrain from making concessions to the Soviet Union without assurances that all Jews who want to leave will be able to emigrate. He told 40 people who demonstrated in front of Parliament that 400,000 of the Soviet Union's 1.7 million Jews wanted to emigrate. Moscow has spoken of 10,000 Jews who would be allowed to leave.
